My 5 days in Marrakech was both enjoyable and suffering.
享受，皆因住的、用的都是5星级的。从新加坡到伦敦，再从伦敦到在马拉喀什，虽然不是商务机舱，但是也是A380哦。。。 连在马拉喀什的酒店，我也幸运地抽到套房！
Enjoy because everything arranged was 5-star. From Singapore to London, London to Marrakech, although I didn't board a business class flight, but anyhow I was still able to fly with A380... Including the accommodation in Marrakech, I was lucky enough to get a suite!
折磨，因为天气非常炎热（真不明白为何气象报告都说晚上只有13度的呀？？），加上沙尘滚滚，食物又不是那么适合我们的胃口，加上走在Djemaa el-Fna Square时，阵阵马和驴的尿味扑鼻而来，很难受也！（还强颜欢笑。。拍照嘛。。）
Suffer because the weather was so damn hot (I couldn't believe that all the weather forecast said it's only 13degC at night?!), more over the environment was so dusty, and the food couldn't satisfy our taste buds. And what's even worse was the smell of horse and donkey urine around Djemaa el-Fna Square!
这次的旅程并不是纯粹旅行，而是有重任在身，前面的3天都还有些压力，虽然说是赢不赢都无所谓了（都已经是世界级最棒的top13了嘛），但是还是扮演着马来西亚大使啦。
This journey was not just an ordinary trip, we had mission to accomplish, therefore the first 3 days was a bit under tension. Although we did not win (but we are already the world finalists top13), however we still bear the task as Malaysia's ambassadors.
一连骑了两天的骆驼，在沙漠奔跑了几天，只有回来后才会开始怀念。
Camel ride in the desert and palm groves for a consecutive 2 days. I only started to miss that after coming back for some time.
离开前夕，我们都盼时间快点过，因为钱已经花得七七八八了（什么都贵！！），该吃的、买的、看的，都已经做了。
The night before we left, we hoped so much that time would fly faster, as we have spent almost all our money, for food, for shopping, for touring around..
看遍餐牌最值得吃的，就这一碟RM50的海鲜炒饭！
After reading through the menu, the most worthwhile to eat - a dish of RM50 seafood fried rice!
还有这碗也是RM50的东炎汤！%#￥%r#$@$@$%...
And this bowl of tomyam soup, RM50 each bowl! %#￥%r#$@$@$%...
现在看回一系列在沙漠拍的照片，才发觉我原来也会想念马拉喀什。。。
Looking back at the photos taken in the desert, I only realize that I actually do miss Marrakech a little...
第一天晚上的迎宾鸡尾酒会，穿着摩洛哥的传统帽子，唱着摩洛哥小调。。
The first night welcoming cocktail party, wearing the Moroccan hat and singing Moroccan songs..
回到睡房时收到的主办当局送给我们的祝福 - Hand of Fatimah。
The good luck charm given by the organizer - Hand of Fatimah.
第二天的特别晚宴。夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏。晚上8点的天空。。。
The second day Moroccan soiree. Missing the blue sky at 8pm...
逛街时看到的马拉喀什灯饰。很后悔没带一个回来，因为行李塞不下了 ，而手提又太麻烦，还必须在伦敦逗留2天。
Marrakech handmade lamps. Too bad I couldn't bring one back due to almost overweight luggages. And handcarry would be very troublesome because I still need to spend 2 days in London.
凡走过街厂都会看到一座一座的香料小山坡。
Little hills of spices and herbs.
想念旧旧的后巷。
I miss the old alleys.
自己的倒影在medina quarter的街上。
And my shadow on the street of medina quarter.
还有一到天黑就挤满人的Djemaa el-Fna广场。
And also the very congested Djemaa el-Fna Square.
幸好这喝多少都喝不厌的摩洛哥薄荷茶，我买了3包，现在还喝着。 =)
Luckily I still have my favorite Moroccan Mint tea, bought 3 packets, and am still drinking now. =)
如果有一天还会回到摩洛哥，我会继续走完Casablanca，Tangier和Ouarzazate。
If I ever go back to Morocco one day, I would continue my journey to Casablanca, Tangier and Ouarzazate.
